ACT I (Part 1)
Overture
Fair is Rose as bright May-day
Sir Rupert Murgatroyd
If somebody there chanced to be
I know a youth who loves a little maid
From the briny sea
I shipped, d'ye see, in a Revenue sloop
My boy, you may take it from me
If well his suit has sped
In sailing o'er life's ocean wide
Cheerily carols the lark
Welcome, gentry
Oh, why am I moody and sad?
You understand?

ACT I - Finale
Hail the bride of seventeen summers
When the buds are blossoming
Gavotte
Hold, bride and bridegroom, ere you wed each other
As pure and blameless peasant
Within this breast there beats a heart
Farewell!
Oh, happy the lily

ACT II
I once was as meek as a new-born lamb
Happily coupled are we
In bygone days I had thy love
Painted emblems of a race
When the night wind howls
He yields! He answers to our call!
I once was a very abandoned person
My eyes are fully open to my awful situation
There grew a little flower
Finale
